here or there. CDs are still in stores, but moving quickly. If you
need the record, ask your store to order it! Deep can also be found in
specialty stores in Sweden, Germany, Australia, Japan, Italy and the UK.

Take care and peace - not the word to play...

music is universal...

"When you're playing drum you're touching the heart and the brain. That
what move the people. That what move the spirit in the people. Cah the
people cannot move until you touch their spirit, and you wake their
spirit and the spirit wake their body."
